The Con Of The '60s : A Look At The Reality Behind The Decade Synonymous With Peace And Love Today the 1960s are viewed with the warming sparkle of nostalgia: Hendrix, The Beatles, peace, love, drugs, flowers and freedoms. However, with the decade also heralding the gruesome Vietnam War, numerous political assassinations, the Altamont Concert and the Kent State Massacre, we may question just how legitimate this rosy tint really is.Keywords:

It resulted to be very controversial and some even called it 'most serious U.S. foreign policy blunder since Vietnam'. Clinton tried to explain to the public that the campaign was launched to prevent a 'an even crueler and costlier and wider war in Europe' (so-called domino effect) and damage Serbian's military forces in order to stop harming Kosovo's people.Keywords:

In fact, the 20th century was the time when military conflicts swapped away millions of human lives both military and civilian. As a result, many authors realized that human life worth practically nothing that may be traced in works of such outstanding writers of the 20th century as Earnest Hemingway, Graham ...Keywords:

Even though it is true that politicians refrain from using this theory to prove that their goals for going to war are justified the theory gives philosophers and war critics a chance to weigh the wars of the past and those that are being waged now with a standard scale. This style of thinking is not new to us. It was used even by Augustine and Aquinas.Keywords:

In his classic pop-rock anthem 'American Pie,' Don McLean bemoaned the loss of innocence that came with the death of his musical hero, Buddy Holly, a man emblematic of a decade of fun, frothy songs. When one thinks of 50's music today, it is not lyrical depth or complex harmonic patterns that come to mind. Instead, this was a simpler brand of music for a time of security and optimism. In this period well after the end of World War II and before Vietnam, the 50's music reflected the peace of mind of the population.Keywords:
